"Technically, I am afraid this double-bill is far below par. Images are blurred, sound is muffled and there is actually recurring sounds that seem to belong to another movie, like there was something on the flip side too which simmers through. The movies, especially the ever-touching, sophisticated and darkly hued 'Penny Serenade', are great, but are hardly served well by less than average technology."
Terrible transfer

"I love Irene Dunn. I long to see I Remember Mamma and some of her other wonderful films, but this transer to DVD stinks."

"After four years of searching we want our customers to know that we found a great print of Penny Serenade and re-mastered this DVD.
We believe our two films are now the BEST on the market and are a great buy.
Thank you for your business... Marengo Films.

MY TWO CENTS WORTH SAYS WOW!!

"For the first cent, MARENGO FILMS' remastered version (forget the earlier reviews) of PENNY SERENADE is now the best copy of this title to be found on the DVD market. And trust me, I've been through them all. The muddy picture and hissing sound of all other competing versions have been eliminated by the careful remastering of MARENGO. Finally, you can now see this wonderful movie with a beautiful picture and clear, crisp sound.
As for the second cent, the remastering of HIS GIRL FRIDAY is also meticulously accomplished. The picture is clean and sharp and the sound is loud and clear. And how can you argue with the price? You get two bonafide classics in wonderful transfers for the same price that you generally pay for just one DVD title.
Bravo to MARENGO for two jobs well done!!"
Two AMAZING Cary Grant movies

"His Girl Friday and Penny Serenade are two GREAT movies. I'll describe both of them for you:Penny Serenade is an amazingly SAD and DRAMATIC film. I was practically drowning in my own tears at the end, even though I was laughing soooooo hard at the beginning. Grant's performance was Acadamy Award nominated, but he lost the Oscar to the very retarted and annoying Gary Cooper. Irene Dunne is, as always, simply stunning.His Girl Friday--don't even get me started!! Hailed by several critics to be the greatest comedy ever made, I find this film to be extremely entertaining. Rosalind Russell is excellent as the (VERY) fast-talking, sharp-tongued Hildy Johnson--a woman torn between being a star reporter and having a real life. Cary Grant, playing Walter Burns, only complicates things. The movie does have some serious, dramatic scenes, but is overall a hilarious, wonderful comedy!!TWO THUMBS WAAAAAAAAAY WAY UP FOR THESE TWO WAAAAAAAAY WAY COOL CARY GRANT, ROSALIND RUSSEL AND IRENE DUNNE MOVIES!!!!"
